I claim:

1. Means for securing pipes in position comprising a bracket having a pair of lugs each provided with at least one aperture, a band adapted substantially entirely to encompass the pipe and having at both ends at least one elongated lateral extension disposed at right angles to the plane of the band and each having an aperture, and a member adapted to extend through the apertures in the lugs and the apertures in the extensions when the latter are placed betwen the lugs.

2. Means for securing pipes in position comprising a bracket having a pair of lugs each provided with at least two apertures, a band adapted substantially entirely to encompass the pipe and having at both ends lateral extensions extending in opposite directions and each extension having an aperture, and a pair of members adapted to extend each through one set of the apertures in the lugs and the apertures in the extensions when the latter are placed between the lugs.

3. Means for securing pipes in position consisting of a bracket comprising a base, a pair of lugs on said base each having at least one aperture and extensions of said base beyond said lugs which are each provided with an aperture to receive attachment means, a flat band adapted substantially entirely to encompass the pipe and having at both ends at least one elongated lateral extension disposed at right angles to the plane of the band and each having an aperture, and a member adapted to extend through the apertures in the lugs and the apertures in the extensions when the latter are placed between the lugs.

4. Means for securing pipes in position comprising a bracket having a pair of lugs each provided with at least one aperture, a band adapted substantially entirely to encompass the pipe and having at each end a lateral extension disposed at right angles to the plane of the band and having an aperture, and a member adapted to extend through the apertures in the lugs and the apertures in the extensions when the latter are placed betwen the lugs.
